Halfway Between 2 and 8

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 8?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=2 and Y=8.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 8, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 8 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 8)/2 = 5

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 8 is 5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 5 and subtract 5 from 8 and compare the two numbers:

5 - 2 = 3
8 - 5 = 3

As you can see, the halfway number is 3 higher than 2 and 3 lower than 8. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 5 above is correct.
